Further to my earlier post (13/12/04 @ 14:07) about reaming out 22mm
compression fittings to create compression slip couplers. I've just
tried
this using an old adjustable reamer - sized 25/32" to 27/32" -
19.75mm to
22mm) and it works perfectly for the 22mm size. I haven't got a 15mm
reamer
so can't test but I see no reason why it shouldn't work as well with
the
correct reamer.

That changes the nature of the problem from finding a machine shop to
modify the couplings to finding a tool shop which stocks the right size
of adjustable reamer. On a Friday afternoon in a one-horse town while
the CH system is in bits. I think what I'll do instead is to buy five
each of 15mm and 22mm couplings, go back to that machine shop and pay
them a tenner to remove the pipe stops. Should make a lifetime supply
;-)


==============
Alternatively you could buy the correct sizes of reamers from:
http://www.chronos.ltd.uk

Both sizes come at about £21-00 (for both) which seems like good value for
tools with a lifetime use.
